I’ve read other blogs…yes, there are other blogs…that have related the interesting fashion choices that their kids have put forth. I thought it was funny and what not. I didn’t expect it to happen to Boo. Mommy keeps a close eye on his fashion sense and does a fine job of keeping him looking honkin’ cute.

I came home to find this awaiting me:

Now, you can’t see that he’s in a cute t-shirt and his diapers, but he is and that whole combo maybe lost on you, dear reader. Taken together…priceless. He’s also wearing daddy’s hat, a left over from my Navy days. For me, that makes it uber-cute.

Beck and My Loe have returned from their adventure in Santa Fe, happily free of turquoise and kokopelli figures. There are many pictures and cute stories, I’ll leave the stories to Loe. Here are some pics…

…rockin’ the cute before they even hit the road.

On the road….before:

…and after…

in between, however:

Call Jethro Tull….stat!

It’s all about the headgear, man!

Beck appears to have discovered basic physics principles or has become Dr. Frankenstein…

Beck conquered the slide!! He’s been down a couple with Mom or Pop, but never flew solo until a couple of weekends ago. He usually stays away from the slide when he’s playing, but that day my friends was different.

He pulled up his Fuzzi Bunz, pointed at the Tube Of Destiny looked at his old man and said, “Heh!(help…duh)”. Spying Mama waiting to catch him if the experiment went awry, he plunged headlong barely touching the sides.

He made two runs that day, each more daring than the last. With the hat, he kinda looks like a wee Indiana Jones. Kinda.

It started secularly enough. My new favorite person (MNFP) and I decided to go visit her grandmother in Mineral Wells and since there happens to be a lake there it seemed as though a picnic and some swimming were in order. There we were frolicking innocently enough when we noticed that a stage, of sorts, was being set up. This was followed by an announcement that there would be a puppet show with music and Sno Cones for all. Well, as you can imagine these two moms thought they had struck gold. What more could you want out of trip to the lake with your toddlers. Turns out that what you might want is for the God part to be left out of the show. Yep, it turns out that this production was being hosted by a youth ministry group who decided that a state park would be the perfect venue for preaching. We stayed, listened to the music ( the puppets had amazing voices), danced for a while and then waited patiently for our Sno Cones. At the end of the day the kids had a great time and although I’m a little offended by the use of a state park to put on this sort of production the Sno Cones made it all worth it.
